[@mansouralblooshi3004]

That test bulb will never disappoint you. Good video Mrs. Cuba

[@CubasAutomotive]

Thanks Mansour! I appreciate that! 😊👋🏻

[@isalmankhan1]

It's been a while Cuba, since you've uploaded a new case study, glad to see you👍 Thanks for sharing, Stay Safe👍

[@CubasAutomotive]

Hey Salman! 👋🏻 Great to hear from you! Working on it.... just been binge working and no time for editing. Took off ystrdy & some of today due to the intense heat. Perfect time to do some editing. Stay well! 😊✌🏻

[@mikesautomotivediagnostics8080]

Glad to see that you verified the fault before changing any parts. Great work.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Thanks Mike😁. Often skipped over, and too many times I don't show it on vids. Important step prior to chasing down a problem. 👋🏻

[@JT-lq4yd]

We missed you, it's nice to have you back!

[@CubasAutomotive]

Hola JT! Missed YT as well. Just trying to progress in the industry. YT is another job in itself 😅😅

[@jeremyanthony9300]

Omg. I've missed you. So glad to see you back.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Hahaha.. thanks Jeremy. Have been binge working. Helping out colleagues but also buying up tools and training. No time to edit. Took it easy ystrdy, and some of today due to the intense heat. Stay well my friend! 😊👋🏻

[@Blazer02LS]

Great to see you made it back. What, a customer who gives a vague complaint, nah that never happens.... LOL.

[@CubasAutomotive]

One thing I've learned, customers ALWAYS lie.... intentionally or not is the only difference. LOL. Meh.... I find it's good to show our struggles, so the customers can understand why we have so many difficulties at times, in attempting to repair a vehicle. Yeah, I made it back but only temporarily. It was so hot ystrdy, I decided to take off. My equipment hates to work in the excessive heat, so I took care of some editing. I have at least 4 or 5 more videos to go. Doubt I'll get to them all. Part 2s are almost done at least. Sorry EricO took down the stream, but I did reply to you, BTW 😊😊

[@Blazer02LS]

@@CubasAutomotive Yeah, even more fun if you have a service writer "translating" for you. I wanted to ask them if the customer was speaking in Swahili while they spoke Greek sometimes. Don't miss that at all. When I opened my shop the first thing I did was put any new hires on the phone for at least 30 days to learn how to discuss problems with customers. Told them to get all the info you can, but expect it to be vague. When I finally put a service writer on they got to set down with all of us and get a feel for what we really wanted for info and how to handle any upsell issues on a severity scale. Yeah I was in the middle of a reply when it vanished. No issues, was just glad to see a voice from the wilderness...

[@CubasAutomotive]

"a voice from the wilderness" LOLLOL Love it! 🤣🤣 Ahh, what a great approach to the service writer issues. I find asking the right questions helps immensely. I fail to do that, though I know that would be so helpful. I even downloaded questionnaire type sheets from ATG or other automotive classes, and I still forget to put them to use. I'll get it right eventually. 😅

[@Blazer02LS]

@@CubasAutomotive I tell folks that knowing the right questions are part of it, gauging the customers level of understanding is even bigger. That was why I used a simple set of questions for each type of problem. Checklists are handy for that. Give it some time or do like a few folks have and write out an outline on the questions like we had in EMS. The old What, When, Where method.

Welcome back KZbin sweetheart 💗😙

😁😅😅😅 thanks Proud!! Not quite back yet... working my way here. Took off ystrdy & some of today due to the intense heat. Perfect time to do some editing.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Not back completely YET. It was extremely hot so I took off ystrdy & some of today due to the intense heat. Perfect time to do some editing. My electronic equipment doesn't like the extreme heat and batteries discharge quickly 😒 Saludos amigo! 😊👋🏻

[@billziegmond4943]

CUBA! I was starting to worry about you and no videos. I hope you and yours are well. I was in Avoca NY last week.

[@CubasAutomotive]

I was telling EricO I'd stop by soon. Trying to go with Ivan, as soon as it starts cooling down sometime early Sept. All is well here. Buying up tools & expanding what I do mobile wise. Took off ystrdy & some of today due to the intense heat. Perfect time to do some editing. Great to hear from you!! 😊🤗👋🏻

[@billziegmond4943]

@@CubasAutomotive I didn't stop in because I didn't want to be the pesky KZbinr. Check out Ivan's Christmas special Saturn videos and you will find me. and Ivan. If you and Ivan plan to go please let me know. Would love to join all of you. It would awesome to shoot the breeze.with you all. You get me enough bourbon. I will even tell you all some old war stories when I was in law enforcement. still owe Ivan a few adult beverages. I told him we would hook up after we put Wolfie in his place with his mandates. Take care my friend and stay well.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Nice find there, Cuba! I wonder how many shops would've fired a compressor at that one? Probably a few unfortunately! On to part 2 ! 👍😎

[@John_rwc]

Hey Cuba. How ya doin down there little lady? Nice to see you again. Hope all is well.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Hey!! I was thinking about you recently. All is well enough? lol Health, have plenty of work, and progressing as far as training, knowledge regarding work.... it's just the economic, country, political, and r o n a situation, which I know you and I think similarly regarding the latter. Just trying to keep my head down and plow through things, but fighting back whenever I can, especially things that affect me/us locally. You know what I mean I'm sure. I miss having down time and not worrying about the rising cost of things. I do focus on just work anymore because it keeps me from spending, thinking, worrying, or paying attention to much else. How are things there? Health wise I hope well. I know you can relate in the other ways I mentioned, as stated, we think similarly in many ways. I know your area has similar struggles. I absolutely am horrid with communication. I would stay in touch more often otherwise.🥴 😓

[@khalid109q]

It is a common fault at sedona kia and entourage hyundai. The main cause for that is hetting the main fuse base. It need to remove the fuse box and resolve the inside buttom of relay connect. It is good to hear you for a long time. See yaa.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Good to hear from you as well. Great info. No TSBs... but that's exactly what I did in part 2. I appreciate your input! Stay well! 😊😁👋🏻

[@manuellamas4747]

Great catch on the relay.

[@thebaldmechanichardatheari1124]

Watch your necklace doesn’t get caught in the belt. 😎

[@CubasAutomotive]

I made it to break away easy, just in case. I'm more wary of drawstrings on hoodies, than anything else. I appreciate the concern 😊👋🏻✌🏻

[@juiced71]

Nice job! Hey I have a Trailblazer SS can the Ac clutch it’s self just be replaced ? The kid I bought it off a while ago removed the belt so it wouldn’t kick on I like ac so I put a belt on it and it worked good but a few months later it locked up and shredded the belt as you could imagine… I think because the guy never used it ‘ it rusted or something….

[@CubasAutomotive]

Actually in your case you'd have to replace the entire compressor. The external part where the belt rides is separate from the part that the clutch activates. The bearings are probably bad on the pulley of the compressor and as far as I ever seen, non serviceable unfortunately.
